I had one for years. A 2011 Macbook Pro. I sold it a couple of months ago for almost half of what I paid.

My experience was they OS started a downhill slide after Leopard (2012). If you want to upgrade to an SSD for instance you find they put cheap a cheap HDD cable that can’t support the bandwidth. Around the end of 2012 Apple put the kabosh on owner upgrades by soldering in stuff and bricking computers via subsequent OS Upgrades(el captain fart sniffer).

That time period is when Jobs Left and Captain Hook came on board.

Over all it was a excellent experience but I would never do that now.
